CNY SPCA

Helping homeless cats since 1977

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals across the United States. Founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh in New York City, it is the oldest animal welfare organization in North America. The ASPCA's mission focuses on protecting dogs, cats, equines, farm animals, and other vulnerable species through legal enforcement, advocacy, rescue efforts, and public education. The ASPCA engages in various activities, including responding to abuse cases, providing disaster response and pet relocation services, and offering veterinary and behavioral care. It also advocates for stronger animal protection laws and supports local shelters and clinics with training and resources. The organization emphasizes collaboration with federal, state, and local agencies to enhance animal welfare practices nationwide. With over two million supporters, the ASPCA has played a significant role in shaping animal protection laws and promoting humane treatment for over 150 years.
